You don't get another chance. Life is no Nintendo game.

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

Life is a flame that is always burning itself out; but it catches fire again every time a child is born. Life is greater than death, and hope than despair.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
